I'm looking for a good extension to debug PHP and a compatible IDE to work with it. What is the perfect dev environment on Windows? I use Windows 7 64 bit and Windows Server. Need suggestions. Thanks.
Hey Rebecca, what's up !
There are a lot of debuggers available for PHP online, but the one from which I was impressed is Xdebug. The IDE you should use Eclipse PDT. Eclipse PDT actually uses the Xdebug as a debugger and provides an interface for it.
For Tutorial and download pages you can refer to the provided link.

Hello there,
A good extension to debug PHP is FirePHP. It is used to send console messages in the browser from your PHP code. It is more safer than most other debuggers. To get started simply download FirePHP from here. There are two versions in the link, one is more firefox and the other is for chrome. And the best compatible IDE with FirePHP is Firebug. You can also download it from the link.
